We have met the enemy and they are those guys

    Here's Goya's "Saturn Devouring One of His Children." Roll over to view political cartoonist Dave Brown's (Britain's Independent) adaption, showing  Ariel Sharon eating a Palestinian child.  That this was just voted the UK's "Cartoon of the Year," by its Political Cartoon Society, pretty much sums up why the British, make that European, media are so anti any war on Islamic terrorists.  But hey, I agreed with Patton's desire to attack the Soviet Union in 1945, and MacArthur's plan to salt the Yalu river with nuclear waste in '52, so I guess my current solutions won't fly either.  Sigh.

Words cannot show the anger that I have for "enlightened elites". They have no idea what the world is like from the ivory towers they live in. Yet they have picked the Pali's side, a side for terror and horror, and feel at peace with the it.
They need a good American kick in the nuts.

Coming from a land where each one of you consumes up to 500% more than the average "Pali", you've got a bloody cheek suggesting we in the UK don't live in the "real" world. Remember, it was us that promised a Jewish nation, so we have a right to comment on how the hell hole's being run.

Okay, for the sake of argument I'll stipulate that we "consume more than 500%..." (although I'd put the number at more like 6000%). We do that .. because we can. And, you "promised a Jewish nation?" I think it was more like a band of ill equipped Jews in Palestine kicked your bloody arses, eh wot? Do they use the term "dickwad" in the UK? Good, so you know what I mean then.

No, it's 6x10^12 more than anybody else in the world and don't you forget it. Honestly, I am so sick and tired of this intellectually vapid argument. At least I have a chance in the US to earn a decent life for myself unlike in the UK where, unless I'm born into the right class, the most I could probably hope for is a tiny house to go along with a tiny salary that is mostly eaten up by taxes. This is an argument born of jealousy, nothing more.
